This Travelodge has lovely, friendly staff. I managed to forget the pillow I had taken with me and they sorted out its quick return. They have gone the extra mile in good customer service and it is appreciated. Beds were very comfy and although near a road we were not disturbed by any traffic noise.

We have been going to this Travelodge for over 10 years. We enjoy the area, and we have a family connection. Sadly we wont be going again. We feel that all guests should be aware of the following information. …

Nice hotel. Good service too.Only negatives are, no vending machine.Also for the room, there is lack of lighting and also not sure if all the beds per room are in the same position, but if your slim, your still struggling as there is a size 11 shoe gap between the bed and the window, the bed should be further away

We were allocated a twin room which we neither asked for, booked or requested. This was not a pleasant surprise. The bathroom had some mould appearing around the shower and there were some scratches and scuffs to the paintwork. Overall the building looks tired and in need of some TLC

The staff were excellent! Really friendly, helpful and polite. We met three members of staff while we were there and all three were great.The room however... The room is in serious need of renovations. Chipped paint, stains, cracked plaster and dented walls are basically ubiquitous. Even the stairs and hallways have seen better days.I feel the whole hotel would benefit from a crew of decorators coming in for a day or two!Luckily the bed linen was nice and clean, and the beds were comfortable.

The one thing going for Eastbourne Willingdon Drove was being able to have our dog stay with us.||Other than that we found it very tired and in desperate need of an upgrade.
